Apologies for the delay, I have not been able to get online much this last week. That is correct, it's just the gstreamer plugins that are needed to make the sound work (I do not know whether it is enough to simply add the plugins so whether gcompris needs to be compiled against them). The SVG cheat...

Grrr.... I packaged it all up and gave it a test only to find out it is not working again despite changing the permissions!

jrb's recommendation of changing the filetype does indeed work so I may have to settle for doing that...

Problem solved! It was so simple I am actually quite annoyed at myself. The .svg files need to be executable (minimum 744 permissions) and that is all there is to it! I will repackage it all to include the sound and svg fix and upload tonight (bandwidth caps mean I can only really upload after 0:00 ...

Still no further forward on the svg issue. I am presuming it is something to do with librsvg. The librsvg package contains librsvg libraries and tools used to manipulate, convert and view Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) images. Does anyone know of a way of testing librsvg to make sure it is actually w...

Quick update.... I have recompiled everything and have the sound working but unfortunately still getting the svg file error in 4.2.

Make sure you have the forward slash in /mnt/sda3 otherwise it will try and mount the drive under the current folder, e.g.

mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/sda3

Failing that make sure the folder /mnt/sda3 exists, if not you can create it with and then try mounting the drive again.

You could put it after the line that way it will appear at the top of the grub menu.

If you want it in a different order just add it after one of the '# Other bootable partition config ends' lines

needs gstreamer plugin ( says when run from console) Of course! I forgot to compile the plugins! I feel a bit stupid now :oops: I am currently making another version with libjasper, librsvg and the gstreamer plugins. If so you can get Russian or other language files for it at ubuntu I will seperate...

I get the svg error in Puppy 4.1.2. I have checked and the files do exist, I think this may be related to one of the dependencies, librsvg. I used the one included in puppy rather than compiling from source. The sound issue seems to be gstreamer related and checking this page shows that there is a k...

I have no sound in 4.2 either. It seems to be a gstreamer problem - I will look into it. The admin panel (run gcompris -a) is also broken, again, I think this is a dependency problem. Once they are fixed I will upload another .sfs. If anyone else comes across any problems just let me know and I will...

Extra languages and voices.

gcompris-languages.sfs

I've done it! gcompris.sfs I decided on .sfs files as it makes the installation quick and simple. This file contains the main program and all the dependencies and comes in around 55.5 mb. There is a second .sfs which includes the extra languages and voices which I am currently uploading (another 50 ...

I have a bcm43xx as well. I could not get it working in the standard Puppy 4.2 but found it was a piece of cake to set up using ndiswrapper in Puppy 4.2 retro (older kernel).

if your compiling python why not just use the one which came with the compiler? 2.5? that should of worked. One of the dependencies, pycairo, required it. I did not compile it at the beginning and therefore some of the dependencies were compiled against different versions of python - maybe this cou...

I have built all the dependencies from source (all 40 of them!) however I am now getting an error 'cannot find -lpython2.6' when trying to make gcompris. I compiled python 2.6 from source when building the dependencies so I must have done something wrong at some point - back to the drawing board

Hmmm.... I have just ran a full install with those same settings and had no trouble booting.

Can you check that the file /boot/vmlinuz exists on your /dev/sdb2 partition? You may need to boot from the Puppy CD as windows will not read the ext3 filesystem.

No, you didn't do anything wrong, it is just that you need to tweak the menu.lst file after installing grub.

I am not sure where puppy saves the vmlinuz during a full install. Give me a minute and I will make a full install to find out.

The dependencies are more of a pain than I had hoped... I have got most of them sorted but esound is giving me an error and google hasn't been much help - I will give it another go tomorrow. Sidders: The food is pretty good, I think that's half the reason I am rejoining (I was previously medically d...

Glad to have helped

You can safely remove the list file after you are done, you could also add to the end of your script to remove it automatically.

I really like Macpup but I wanted to stick to the standard release rather than a puplet as I am new to puppy. I couldn't find a .pet anywhere so I thought I would make one
